How is "btiches" a way anyone would want to refer to themselves?

I agree with the airline BTW, not the "bitches"

I don't like it

If that's what they want on heir shirts then they are free to do that. Don't understand what all the fuss is about even though I wouldn't really want to be wearing a tshirt basically calling me a dog! Each to their own though

Not a good look but the airline was ridiculous.

Worst case they could have asked them to put the shirts on inside out FFS.

I wouldn't have it on a t-shirt but it's not a big deal.

The airline claims they were asked, repeatedly.

The bitches say not.

Who knows?

The bride seemed to be baffled by the whole thing but as the article went on the other woman said they had been asked to cover them up at check in so I'm inclined to believe what the airline said and that they were asked to cover them up repeatedly.

@finnthepink they did. Several times. But they kept taking the jackets off.

Personally it doesn't bother me. I wouldn't mind wearing the shirt or others wearing it.

Part of me doesn't even want to get married now

I did read that they were asked repeatedly to remove them and they should have. How can they allow "bitches" but then now allow "wankers" or similar?

They keep pointing out that they are grown women, well then act it and don't wear t-shirts which might offend.

lmao

It's just about reasonable behaviour in a public space. Would I want my DD seeing this group of women and asking me why they are wearing those tshirts? No. I think it's a ridiculous, demeaning, attention seeking thing to wear, I don't understand why you'd even want to wear that and I wouldn't want to sit next to them on a plane.

They were asked to remove the shirts and refused.

It's their choice to wear them and the airlines choice not to subject their other passengers to abusive sexist language.

It's their plane and their rules.

Why should families with little girls have to explain that when they want to have a break and get to their holiday.

Not really sure why anyone would think it was OK. Especially as a large group of you.

Oh God, who cares? Surely the airline has better things to do than worry about a few words on a t shirt. Life is really too short.

Yes that's the thing, there are two sides to the story.

I'm not saying I believe the bitches but I certainly don't automatically believe the airline.

travel bloke (Simon Calder?) said the base line was: would you like to explain the word to an 8 year old? which I think pretty fair. yes I know it's a female dog "but mummy why would a lady wear that?" while you're just trying to go on holiday

They were asked to remove the shirts and refused.

Says the airline.

Might be true, might not be is all I'm saying.

For the record I would not be seen dead in such a shirt. Very tacky. But airlines are hardly known for their truthfulness and excellent service, especially lately.

I saw a hen night in York who had 'smash me back doors in' printed on the back of their t-shirts.

It's a swear word traditionally used to put down women? I would have no trouble explaining the history of misogyny to my 7yo More difficulty with sexist fucking advertising at the airport TBH.

We try to teach our kids not to swear and and use sexist language. It is inappropriate and makes not only the airline tacky but is inappropriate in a family space.

An adult shouldn't be wearing a t-shirt with swear words in a public space. (In a bar or other adult space whatever) If it were an adults-only flight then I wouldn't care but there's no such thing yet.

Surely people have other things to worry about than what is on anyone's t-shirt!
How many passengers on the plane are pups have a, seen them, and b, cared.

Really unreasonable of the airline.

Woman and men have been on hen/stag do's wearing inappropriate t shirts for years.

Clearly not anymore!

Wouldn't wear one - wouldn't bother me if others were.

I've seen worse emblazoned across people's chests and back in the supermarket!

I think there must be more to it, that said Jet2 have claimed in the past to have a zero tolerance policy to unacceptable behaviour.

I'm not personally offended by the Tshirts and I'm not sure I know anyone who would be.

I can see the airline's point about children seeing bad language, however I also find myself unable to watch much of the TV during the day / even leave a newspaper lying around when DC are there due to bad language / adult themes, so I think the Tshirts are pretty mild by comparison. I'm far more relaxed about having to explain the word 'bitches' than having to explain a newspaper headline about a paedo or a suicide bomber.

I think it's reasonable to ask the women to turn the Tshirts inside out or cover them up for the duration of the flight while out of their seats. I'm pretty sure if it was made clear it was this or book new flights they'd have complied.
